Hockey drills for technique positional play
- A starts with the ball and takes a self pass
- B starts running as A starts running and gets the ball from A in the run
- B takes the ball and drives at speed around the pawns
- C has to start judging when to run to get the 90-degree pass from B
- B passes the ball
- C hits the ball on goal
- Player A runs toward balls.
- Players B and C towards field of play.
- Player A takes the ball out -saves in.
- Players B and C offer themselves, being covered by the two defenders.
- Player A may make a selfpass.
- Attackers score in the big goal.
- Defenders if they get the ball, score in goal X.
Areas of focus are: quick take, offering, run and play lines, tackleback.
- Half Field.
- In the middle of the half field set out a square with pawns, players are not allowed to walk through it with the ball, but are allowed to walk through it without the ball.
Set a goal; for example:
- First play with your team 4x before you can score.
- Try with at least 3 or more players in the circle to outplay the goalkeeper during the attack. Do not aim for the ball to go straight to goal when you enter the circle but look for the right passing options.
- Try to build up the attack from the sides.
- Always try to have someone at the guard.
- Put a bowl down if the attack threatens to fail.
- You can also say; the ball must go around the back of the box per new attack if they are going to be huge on a bowl.
- -. Or if a goal attempt fails that then the ball must first be taken out of the circle before a new attempt may be made.
Additional difficulty: always enlarge the box if the attack goes well
Questions to the players:
- What is the best way to set up an attack?
- What is the best way to defend an attack?
- Which side do you want to guide the attacker to when you are defending?
- Which side do you want to attack from?

4 defenders in the bowl -build up-, 2 midfielders, 3 strikers.
- From the bowl play around without pressure.
- With pressure: 3 defenders - opponents and goalkeeper in the circle.
- The 2 midfielders offer themselves from the axis to the back where the ball goes.
- Not being played on is to the line and back to the axis. Not passing to the long passing line.
- To be played on is to open and then pass to the pendant striker or the wing striker. After play-off continue to offer in the guard position.
- The two wing strikers offer themselves to the 23 meters.
- The striker on the attack offers himself to the front circle.
- The wing striker on the supporting side looks for scoring position at the far post.
Party form where you play a regular game.
But when the trainer whistles, the ball they are playing with goes out. And the trainer then throws in a new ball at a different spot in the field.

- A starts the ball and passes the ball to B.
- V1,V2,V3 are going to close the pass lines.
- V1 closes the pass line between A and B.
- V2 runs up and makes sure the ball cannot pass through the axis.
- V3 is going to close the pass line between B and C and make sure it can't get past the line.
- When they have taken the ball away, they score in the goal.
- A, B, C want to score in the goal on the back line.
- A starts with the ball and wants to try to score with his teammates.
- The defenders, who want to keep the axis closed, put pressure when the attackers cross the 23 meter line.
- When they have conquered the ball, they score in the goalmouth on the other side.
- A and B are going to play over with each other. Before they get the ball, they look to see if there is a fellow player in the box who is free.
- The attackers in the box offer themselves to the two players who are playing over.
- If you have offered yourself and you do not get the ball, you run away again, make room for the other players and come back to offer yourself again later.
- When the ball has come to one of the attackers, a 4:3 is played, if there is no space forward then they play the ball back to A or B and it starts all over again.
- If the defenders take the ball then they score in one of the 2 goals outside the 23 meter area.
- A starts with the ball and passes the ball back to B.
- A and B start playing a 2 : 2 against the 2 defenders standing there.
- The 2 defenders who are waiting to see what the attackers are going to do. The first defender who stays on the 23 meter line. The other defender sticks around by the circle.
- Let the attackers come and play to that.
- The three attackers are going to try to pass in the box 3 times (if this is too easy make it more).
- When they have passed each other three times, they can finish on goal.
- They only have to pass the defender who is standing there.
- It then becomes a 3 on 2 with the attacker who was in the box.
- A starts with the ball and first plays the ball back to B.
- When B has accepted the ball the 3v3 starts and the defenders may start to pressure.
- Tips for the attackers:
- Use the exercise of switching the strikers
- Only play the safe ball
- Remember the 4 squares in the circle
- Tips for the defenders:
- Keep your man in the circle
- Push them to one side
- Always put pressure on the ball (i.e. don't let them shoot)
- A starts with the ball and runs towards the bar
- There he does a chop (different action if we don't have a water court)
- He accelerates towards the circle.
- B and C are ready to receive the ball from A and change places at the last moment.
- B or C receives the ball from A and then we play a 3 against 2.
